We came just in time 5 minutes before they opened, and there was a line already forming. To me, that was a good sign that their food must be good. We were quickly sat and were offered complimentary cheese and crackers with some cheese dips. We ended up also getting their bread, which was delicious! You can tell it was homemade (super soft)! Compliments to the cook! Everyone enjoyed their food and had a great time. In the end, we got complimentary white chocolate, which was also super delicious.
From the warm welcome to the attentive service this is certainly a place to linger. The decor is laid back and comfortable. The menu the most extensive and unique I’ve seen in a long time. So hard to choose!! Anyway hubby opted for a burger and I the blackened chicken tacos. We were encouraged to try the complimentary crackers and cheese while we waited for our food… this is dangerous! The cheeses are delectable and so easy to fill up on before your meal arrives.
The meals were delicious the fries the best I’ve eaten in a long time! We just had to try the turtle cheesecake which was truly scrumptious.
First trip to US from India and while we knew it wasn't the best season the visit NH but we still gave it a shot. Though the city was pretty much secluded common man was 1 good thing throughout our visit to Lincoln (apart from the surprise snowfall).
The service was great with friendly staff and the food was really good and the adequate serve size. Would have given it a 5 start for food had they not overdone my steak (it was just a bit) but overall great place, cozy vibe and friendly atmosphere is something you should visit this restaurant for.
I had an amazing dinner here with my family. We were here once before while visiting the White Mountains, and we had a great time then. We ordered arancini, beef and vegetable soup, baked onion soup, lobster corn chowder, chicken pot pie, and cheesecake for dessert. They also offer tasty warm bread, cheese, and crackers. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lovely, and the service was impeccable. When my wife thought the baked onion soup she was served was a bit too spicy for her and slightly burnt, they immediately replaced it with another one. It is perhaps the best restaurant in Lincoln, New Hampshire. The location was also incredibly convenient for us, as we were staying across the street at the Kancamagus Lodge and did not need to find parking.
My Son and I loved this place!! You have to like old style Americana fare because their menu is stocked full of it. Meatloaf, pot roast and pot pies are my soul food because they remind me of my parents. This place didn't disappoint at all. The pot roast and chicken pot pie were outstanding!!! The place was crazy busy to the point I started feeling bad for the staff as there didn't seem to be enough of them to cover all the people but they did. We would definitely come back here!!! Don't be alarmed by the amount of cars in the lot because the place is HUGE with tables and couches (yes people eating on couches) everywhere on the inside. The bill was very reasonable and we left a larger tip for our server who worked her butt off that night!!
Super-popular place, and for good reason. There is complimentary cheese and crackers, fresh bread and butter, so you might be stuffed before you appetizer arrives. We went on two consecutive evenings, and both times were served by the lovely Carol who gave us tons of ideas on things to do in the area. The food is top notch and very good value. And when you are paying, the give you some chunks of scrummy white chocolate. This place really goes to show it is the little things that make a big difference.
Love this place. It's a ritual every time we come to Lincoln NH. The food is really delicious, home cooked meals. The bread was fresh, beer was cold and food was hot. The atmosphere is country barn style. The service has always been friendly and attentive. I could never complain about this place. I need to check out their other location in Plymouth which I've heard was equally awesome.
The Common Man is not quite common these days. Great atmosphere, amazing treatment, top notch cuisine. 👌 Our server was simply amazing.
What a cool place. Rustic winter home vibe with historic board games and wooden skis as decor. Cheese and cracker station as part of the meal in addition to bread service. Food was great, check comes in an old young adult book that you sign. Nice touch with delivering chunks of white chocolate as a parting treat. Very friendly and attentive staff.
Picked this place for more of a home cooking style. It has fantastic food and our server, Grace, was very nice and polite. Great customer service with the free crackers and cheese as well as rolls and bread before dinner. Mac and cheese burger, meatloaf and chicken tacos are awesome.
